** Aurora Watch In Effect **

On Christmas Day, the Earth was inside of a weak coronal hole solar
wind stream. It isn't all that much of one, and the current solar
wind speed is in the 500 km/sec range. Still, however, it might be
enough to spark geomagnetic storm conditions, and an aurora watch is
in effect for the high latitudes. Sunspot region 713 remains to be
the only numbered sunspot region visible, and it doesn't appear to
have the ability to generate a significant flare.
